Click the selector (Figure 9-4) for the desired EQ
band, low-pass (LP) filter, high pass (HP) filter or
compressor to view it across all channels.

☛ Shortcut: hold down the Option/Alt key while
clicking an EQ selector button to show just that
band of EQ in the graphs. Click any selector again
to return to viewing all bands.
Using the EQ/Dynamics knobs
Once you have chosen the desired EQ band, or the
compressor, you can modify its settings using the
two or three knobs below the graph. The knobs
match the color of the currently selected effect, to
help remind you of which effect you are currently
editing.
☛ Important: before you can modify the settings
of an EQ band using the three knobs below the
graph, the EQ band must be enabled. This is done
in the EQ tab (Figure 9-10), as explained in
“Enabling EQ” on page 77.
EQ/Dynamics enable/disable buttons
Click the EQ or Dynamics button at the bottom of
the input channel (Figure 9-3) to toggle the effect
on or off. Note that you can program EQ and
compressor settings, even when the effect is
currently disabled. (You just won’t hear the result
until you enable it.)
Reverb send
The input reverb send (Figure 9-3) feeds the input
signal to the 828mk3’s global reverb processor,
where it is merged with any other signals being fed
to the reverb. The reverb’s output can then be fed
back into a mix or output pair. The send occurs
after all other settings in the input channel strip
(phase invert, EQ, compression, etc.)
THE OUTPUTS TAB
The Outputs tab (Figure 9-6) lets you apply EQ,
dynamics and reverb to any output pair, just before
the signal leaves the 828mk3. This is processing
that occurs at the very end of the signal flow, after
everything else (host based effects, 828mk3 input
or bus processing, mixing, and so on). Processing
is done in the digital domain, just before the signal
goes analog through the D/A converter. Output tab
processing is applied to the entire output mix (all
signals being mixed to the output from various
sources).
Signal flows from top to bottom
Settings in each Output tab channel strip are
applied to the signal in order from top to bottom.
For example, EQ occurs before Dynamics, which is
applied before the reverb send and return.
Output channel focus
Click the channel focus button (Figure 9-6) to view
and edit parameters in the channel settings section
of the CueMix FX window (Figure 9-7 on page 75).
Output EQ and Dynamics
The EQ/Dynamics section in the Outputs tab
(Figure 9-6) works identically to the EQ/Dynamics
section for the Inputs tab (Figure 9-3). See “Input
EQ and dynamics” on page 72.
Output reverb send/return
The output reverb send (Figure 9-6) feeds the
signal for the output to the 828mk3’s global reverb
processor, where it is merged with any other signals
being fed to the reverb. The reverb’s output can
